The Graph! (1 Viewer)

[Shuter]

Ugh, anyone else screw up their graph?

Initially I did a bar graph of both, then I went "OH CRAP, I should have done 2 lines graphs superimposed". So I had to get another sheet thingy and busted out my graph in the last 4 minutes I had left.

It was a bit dodgey with a few wrong dots here and there but I managed to get it done.

this easy 5 mark question does not require discussion

^ lol i agree. but ppl do make simple mistakes, and no, i didn't stuff mine up. luckily.

yew i drew lie 2 line graphs sumperimposing it in to one
but i drew it all in pencil........ was that ok or not like only the lines were in pencil im a bit hmm maybe i should have changed it 2 pen

I did a bar graph male and female next to eachother (superimposed as described above) and did a key and lablled axes etc.... but i thought 'hey this is a 5 mark Q there must be more to it' so i did a line of best fit too.. ?

 

[Annegelic]

what difference does it make if its pen or pencil ? as long as it's right, you get full marks aint it..

5 marks go to:
- labelling axes
- title
- year measurements
- death rate measurements
- graph line

you did a line of best fit as well? how did you do that?

because it was 5 marks..it's probably 3 marks for whether your graph was accurate...1 for doing the right kind of graph..and 1 for labelling the axes..well..that's what i'm guessing anyway..

5 marks go to:
- labelling axes
- title
- year measurements
- death rate measurements
- graph line

a mark can't go to the title cause it was already printed on the sheet....everybody will have the title!

 

[Annegelic]

^ was it ? i don't remember. but in all the bio tests i've done where we had to draw graphs, 1 mark was always given to writing a title... but yeh if not, then i dunno.

 

[the_13th_falcon]

Yeah...title already given. Which is why there is a mark given to either joining the dots or line of best fit. Because of course joining the dots is an important skill and deserves a mark.

i did a line graph but the lines were FAR apart, did i fuck up?

they weren't superimposed

 

[RaineeDays]

its kinda funny how everyone has been doin graphs for ages n they still manage to screw it up in the hsc lol i didnt tho.. just by observation in here

 

[jesshika]

when drawining line graphs.. are you suppsoed to use a ruler or free handedly connect the dots???

 

[joanne1987]

Shouldn't it have been a colomn or bar graph? ... A line graph is used to show a relationship between two things (such as enzyme activity and temp) whereas with our graph, the year didn't have any direct affect on the number of deaths.

 

[super katie]

how exactly do you do a line of best fit with a bar graph? Thats a little... odd...

That graph was so much better than the stupid one in the catholic trial. I screwed that one up something severe.

 

[dena]

i did a bar graph, someone tell me a bar graph is write.... plzzz!!!!

 

[flipsyde]

I think any graph is right as long as you demonstrated that you knew how to put the data on the graph. Alot of people did line graphs like me and a lot also did bar. So I dont think it really matters

A line of best is hard to explian without a drawing...
PM me if you REALLY want to know and Ill draw you one and send it to you.

 

[Misturi]

I did a bar/column graph, using black (lead pencil) coloured in column for females and stripy for males.

Wasn't the heading already given though?

 

[super katie]

I know what a line of best fit is, I just dont get how you can do one in conjunction with a bar graph... and yeah they had the title of the graph printed at the top of it, so hopefully its one mart auto or maybe theyre not that nice
